Summary: The Oresteia as a poem in English
Comment: The Shapiro/Burian translation of The Oresteia, one of the seminal texts of Western Civilization, combines scholarly exactitude with poetic intensity. Whereas other renderings seem at best like successful translations from one language to another, this one comes across as a carrying over of one poetry into another. This ought to be the standard version of this crucial trilogy for a long time to come.
